MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

[Coldneck]

Danks is damn good. He'd be the second best pircher in our rotation behind Harden. I hope he loses his arm in a meth explosion, but he is a damn good pitcher. I think he's only 23 too.

He just turned 24. I hope he got his sphincter filled in with Quik-Krete for his birthday.

He's got one good season under his belt. Z's done it for years, and if we want to go by last year, Dempster was better. He's off to another great start this year but I wouldn't say he'd be our #2 just yet. And Harden's the most -talented- pitcher, but it's hard to call him an ace until he shows he can pitch a full season. There's a reason he's 4th in ours right now.

[Butcher]

Dempster is 1-0 with a 5.00 ERA. Not really a great start. In fact, other than Lilly, all of our starters have sucked. I'm really worried about this Cardinals series.

Since Harden is the 3rd or 4th best pitcher on our team, that'd put Danks as our 4th or 5th starter.

Well, the Cubs have really done nothing good as a team, so I'm worried about every game. The fact that the Cubs have won 8 games so far, is a miracle IMO.
